The Hunger Games: pages 1-60

So far in the hunger games there is the main character named Katniss Everdeen who is a poor outlaw from district 12. There was a battle went on ages ago and Panem, the country they live in, ended up breaking up into thirteen districts. There is also the main government who lives in the Capitol. This is where the main Hunger Games are held. The Capitol invented these Hunger Games to show that the Capitol is incharge and it is also there to keep the districts inline with the government. These Hunger Games were fought to the death. Whoever went in was most likely going to die and not come back out. There were tewnty six kids going in and only one would survive the killings of vicious teenagers.

Katniss has a littler sister  named Prim. Prim just turned tweleve. One boy and one girl will be picked for the Hunger Games from each district. The children are between tweleve and eighteen. Katniss is sixteen. She goes out hunting with one of her friends, and going out of the district to hunt is illegal. She does this so that they can survive without dying of hunger and starvation. When time came to choose the the players for the Games, everyone gathers around the main building to see who the contestents are. They announce Prim is the young girl contestent, until Katniss steps in and says she will volunteer. They guy picked was Peeta Mellark, a guy Katniss was aware of from class. This begain the competition.

Peeta and Katniss are stuck in to seperate rooms after knowing they are the chosen ones. They say goodbye to their love ones for possibly the last time. Afterwards, they get all dressed up and ride a train many miles away from their district to the Capitol. This is were they meet one of the survivors and winners from a privious game from their district, Haymitch. He is a drunk so when he is supposed to help them survive and tell them good hints, he just drinks and gets intoxicated. GOOD LUCK IN THE HUNGER GAMES!

This book is interesting because it has inbraced how it is to me a teenager trying to care for younger ones. It also keeps the reader interesting because they think they know what is going to happen but they still are not sure. I enjoy books that keep me interesting and that are mystery to my mind. This story, I know will just keep getting better and better as I read on. I just wish that the interesting and exciting stuff would come sonner into the story, but I know they are just getting the story and plot situated.
